It's so sad...

I thought Syesha was the best of the nite overall, tho I do agree with the judges that she made a bad strategic choice with her choice of "Fever".

Well, "bad strategic choice" unless she's consciously specifically selling herself to Broadway producers, because if that's the case, it was a brilliant strategic choice.

I'm ignoring reality and voting Archuleta out of wishful thinking.

@Al Shipley: Ditto. Total denial on my part.

Syesha is an actress, a performer, and in choosing Fever she demonstrated exactly that. I didn't get that crap from Paula complaining about "Who are you?". Well, there you have it, that's Syesha. This was in no way different to her performance of One Rock'n'Roll too Many.

On technique alone, Syesha sang rings around the Davids last night. So it's sad to see her shunted automatically to 3rd place in this fixed contest. She doesn't forget her lyrics, she actually looks at her audience, and she can sing! Can we not give her credit for that? Hell, third place is not that bad... look at J Hud.

@kityglitr: look at J Hud

Or look at Mindy Doo, who came in third just last year, is probably one of the 10 best (five best?) pure singer's in the show's history, and is now...advertising fast food?

I mean, Syesha's much more typically pretty and will do better than that, career-wise, but...

Please excuse that grocer's apostrophe, above. [Grammarian's full-body cringe]
